I used an oil can from Harbor Freight - similar to this one:

<http://www.harborfreight.com/8-oz-high-pressure-oiler-66350.html>

I put a grease hose and fitting on the end, and it worked OK for a 
little while, but then the trigger folded up.  I suspect the 90-wt. 
oil is reluctant to flow through it.  You might have found a better 
oil can, but it doesn't like like it in that picture.

I've got one of these

, just waiting for a chance to clean the grease out and try it with 
oil.  If it works, I'll buy another and have one for trunnions and 
one for grease..
